I woke up in the middle of a lecture. It took me a while to figure out that I was taking a lecture at my university before I heard a disembodied orotund voice which was quite monotonous back then enough to put me into sleep. I felt guilty for falling asleep like this but I acknowledged myself that forty winks would do no harm to the teacher. I rubbed around my lips in case there was dribble down from my mouth.
Then, I sneaked out to answer the call of nature.
It was raining out there, all those rain drops soothing me as usual.
My feet carried me onwards over the rain-kissed sidewalks amid my looping strides of insecurity. I kept straight ahead, looking down at feet, making little or no eye contact with students at the lobby.
That's when all those vicious things started.
A large butterfly, the biggest of all I've ever seen, whose wings coloured with fascinating royal blue.
I was wonderstruck, totally completely absorbed in it, and unconscious of anything happening around me that I followed it, as if that was my call.
Those steps. Those damn irresistible steps.
Yes. Maybe three or four. I'm not sure. It was quite blurry.
All I remember is that I was falling in a total blackout. At some points, I saw a couple of googly eyes, suspiciously swirling around me.
Then, I was studded by a somewhat rocky hard thing and hit the ground. I swear, that was an excruciatingly painful experience of all time.
The ground, it was wet and dark as hell. Not the darkness all of us have seen, the kind of darkness that makes our street like an old fashioned photograph, everything a shade of grey. This is the darkness that robs you of your best sense and replace it with a paralyzing fear. In this darkness, I laid, muscles cramped and unable to move.
Then I saw a gleam of light coming from a cave.
Yes.
I reached to the entrance of the cave and I saw a black signboard, " A transit to your wonderland."
My inner voice told me to move into that light, inevitable, as if that was the last piece of adrenalinized decision for survival.
So I entered.
There exists a staircase that leads down to a bunker. I rushed to the door.
"WARNING!!... What you are about to witness will shock you which are always censored but we will let you see. Then you can reach your wonderland. ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK. "
I hadn't known that willbecome the most regretful thing I've ever done in my whole life.
In that bunker, l saw files. Only files.
I noticed that I stepped on a piece of note, which had these words in it, you can freely view all those files. After you have viewed 10 files, a door to next room will open."
I constantly viewed one file after another. But how would you respond if all the things you get to know since you were born were nonsense. How come you don't know you have been a burden to everyone?
How come you don't know the darkest of the darkest thoughts of others on you?
I felt like I couldn't take those anymore. But I had to continue to make it up to 10.
That was a disaster. I cried. Hell, please.
Two doorways appeared.
Just pick one. Bitch.
There are only two options. One will end up your life without any sufferings. You'll disappear from this world like the dead of a candle flame. You'll die happily reviewing the enlightening moments of your life.

The other way is just a doorway to your current life, current situation. You can resume where you are.

Hurry? What would I suppose to do?
